Customer Reviews

Crucial

Emotional intelligence is such a crucial concept to understand--yet so many of us are unaware of it. The authors do a magnificient job of explaining the incredible power of emotional intelligence and how to apply it to achieve your ultimate goals. This book was a great help to me and is an awesome success tool.

Fabulous read

This is the most thought-provoking book I've read in a long time. Without being simplistic, it introduced me to so many interesting things I could use to my benefit. Being intellectually smart is surely a strong advantage in our society, but it doesn't say nearly as much as your control and awareness over your own emotions. Have you ever wondered why you have emotions, how your brain works to process them, and how you can use them to your own advantage? I've never read a book that so clearly explains how it all works and what to do with it.

Smooth and Interesting

The best part of this wonderful book is the online questionnaire which helped me gain insight into my talents and strengths. Although, the book itself is really great too, it just doesn't last long. I read it in the jacuzzi. I definitely recommend giving it a read.

Definitely

This book is just great. I think it will end up being a bestseller once the word gets out. Regarding the content of the book, I agree with the authors that EI has been more important than my IQ. I always thought that because I was considered extremely intelligent that I should be able to control something that was fact; not fully realizing the emotional side of the situation.I rate this book a 5, because I enjoyed it and learned something. It's had a real impact upon my life at work and at home.

Excellent!

This book is great. In a concise, well-written manner, the authors provide insight into human interaction and emotional self-development. This guide will help you understand the thoughts and actions of you and those around you; as well as help you to become a better, happier (and potentially more wealthy) person. As President of a software development firm, this book really enlightened me in regards to how I interact with my employees and how everyone in my firm interacts with our customers. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for self-development, or as an employee resource for any industry.
